The EP was pressed in 12" vinyl format and does not come in a picture sleeve, but rather is housed within a (folded) 92.4 x 121.9 cm glossy green print on silver RePhLeX poster. The following message is etched in the record's run-out groove, on Side A: "PYJAMAS".[1]

On 9 May 2015, a version of the second track on side A was posted on James's SoundCloud under the name "27 leaving home - bradley".[2]; later that year, he released a track titled "NgaiModu - Bradley Strider" that matched the first track on side A, with comments that it was originally from 1992/1993.[3] In 2023, the anthology Happy Land: A Compendium Of Alternative Electronic Music From The British Isles 1992-1996 was released on Above Board records, featuring side B, track 1, named "Linmiri ≠ Bradley Stryder". The anthology focused on music released during the debate over the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, which among other things targeted raves.[4]
